Good News, Congratulations!!
Althrough the price is high, this product will be written in the history.
I think the main market of the first release should be aimed at 
universities and academic agents. 
The professors on academic perfer freedom more than engineers in company :-)
With supporting of the academic funds, they may afford the high price.

If you can bring this card to the Siggraph 2008, that will be 
a good advertising and may attract many eye-balls.
Try to send a paper to the journals on Computer Graphics.
As a anti-traditional hardware project, maybe they will accept it with glad.

To be honest, being a student, I can't afford this price.
But i will keep an eye on this project and will contribute codes and ideas one day.

Now, I'm fighting for my degree and hacking Linux kernel codes.........
A huge mount of docs, academic papers, codes need to be read....

God bless..................................
